Joseph was preparing to take Deborah away, and Ashton acted unusually and did not try to stop him.

Instead, he got up and went to the French windows to make a phone call with Rodger.

He wanted to confirm how accurate the news of Deborah having liver cancer was.

After Rodger conducted his investigation and provided Ashton with a definite response, it was

confirmed that Deborah had liver cancer.

Her time was running out, and finding a suitable liver was an extremely difficult task.

If one was not found, there would be no other options. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Ashton stood in front of the French window, not knowing when Rodger had finished speaking or when

he hung up the phone.

He sat on the couch in a daze, not even reacting when Joseph completed the paperwork and took

Deborah

away on a gurney.

Because Ashton had requested that Joseph take Deborah away for a period of time, Jeff naturally did

not object.

Lydia, however, was concerned about Deborah, and with red eyes, she wanted to go with them. Jeff

then spoke up to stop her, saying.

“You cannot leave. Mr. Mullen said that you are Mrs. Mullen’s mother and must stay with him so that

Mrs.

Mullen can leave for a while.”

Joseph retorted in a cold tone, “Whether it is Deborah or her mother, Ashton has no right to interfere

with their personal freedom. If you stop them, should I call the police, or do you want me to bring more

people?”

He gestured towards the door, and immediately four or five bodyguards came in.

They faced off against the several bodyguards that Jeff had brought in.

Jeff said in a low voice, “Mr. Black, Mr. Mullen has already conceded and allowed you to take Mrs.

Mullen

away for a while.

“Mrs. Mullen is, after all, Mr. Mullen’s wife. Her mother can stay with him and be taken care of by Mr.

Mullen’s maids. There is nothing inappropriate about this.”

Joseph was about to say something angrily when Shawn stepped forward and whispered, “Mr. Black,

let’s just leave it at that for now. People sent by Mullen Manor are still watching over you.”

Gerald had just had a heated argument with Robert, and if there was any more commotion here, it

might invite interference from the Black family’s elders, causing even more trouble.

Joseph didn’t want Lydia to stay with Ashton. After all, she was Deborah’s mother, and he was afraid

that Ashton might give her a hard time.

Lydia spoke up, “I’m fine. I’ll just stay here. Mr. Black, please don’t worry. Nothing will happen. Please

take good care of my daughter.”

Ashton still sat by the French window, lost in disbelief after learning that Deborah had a terminal illness,

paying no attention to the dispute at the door.

In the end, Lydia stayed there.

Joseph took Deborah and left.

Ashton sat by the window, and it wasn’t until night fell outside that he snapped out of his trance.

He turned around and found only Jeff standing behind him.

Ashton looked at the empty ward and, after a long pause, asked, “Did they leave?”

Jeff replied, “Yes. After you called the doctor this afternoon, Mr. Black took Mrs. Mullen away.”

Observing Ashton’s silence, Jeff spoke cautiously after a while, “Hector has asked if you could visit

Mullen

Manor. What do you think?”

Ashton responded evasively, “Go and find a suitable liver for Deborah at all costs. Also, keep an eye on

Joseph

and make sure he doesn’t take Deborah anywhere.”

Jeff nodded and repeated, “Understood.”

Jeff repeated, “Hector said that you need to visit Mullen Manor.”

Jeff felt a bit nervous as he sensed Ashton could explode at any moment.

Surprisingly, Ashton remained calm and collected. “I won’t be going to Mullen Manor anymore. Tell

Grandpa that if there is a next time, he will no longer have a grandson. He can deal with the

consequences himself.”

Jeff murmured in response. Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he still would not dare to

convey this

message.

Ashton stood up and headed towards the door. “Have someone bring Helen to Bauer Manor and call all

the members of the Bauer family back. I will reunite them tonight.”

When Ashton drove to Bauer Manor, the bodyguards had already taken Devon and Kinsley back to the

house and dumped them in the living room.

Jeff arrived later with Helen, who was still at the Mullen family’s Mullen Manor. Hector tried to stop

them,

and Jeff had to work hard to get Helen out.

However, Helen had no strength left in her when Jeff brought her into the living room. Her body was

soaked in blood, and not a single piece of good flesh remained.

The Bauer Manor was only purchased four years ago.

It had five luxurious levels.

In those years, Devon relied on Ashton to expand the business and made a lot of money.

A mere luxury villa was not even worth mentioning.

Ashton reminisced about the night when Deborah took Helen to the hospital rooftop in a moment of

despair.

It was also on the fifth floor where she pushed Helen off the edge.

Later, Deborah found out that Helen had miraculously survived, and Ashton still remembered the look

of

incredulous pain on her face.

At that time, Deborah sarcastically laughed and said, “Helen fell from the fifth floor and still managed to

survive. It’s a miracle.”

Thinking back on these events, Ashton looked down at Helen on the ground and said, “I want to try

again. Does God really exist? Can someone survive falling from the fifth floor again?”

Kinsley was so scared that her face turned pale, and she almost screamed. “Ashton, please spare my

daughter. She has loved you for so many years. Please, I beg you!

“It’s all my fault, and everything bad she did was because I ordered her to. Come at me, but please

spare my daughter!”

Ashton ordered the security guards to take the entire Bauer family to the rooftop on the fifth floor.

Once they reached the rooftop, Ashton turned to Kinsley and said, “It’s all your fault? If you want to

take the blame for your daughter, then tell me the truth. Let’s see if I believe you.”

Helen spoke anxiously, “I am responsible for my own actions, and my mother doesn’t know anything!

Ashton, if you hate me so much, come after me alone and kill me. I’m not afraid, anyway.”

Helen had already lost her legs, and her hands were now severely injured. Her face was also disfigured

from the beating.

Living was no longer as satisfying for her as dying would be.

Anyway, what she had hoped for was no longer possible.

Either Helen lived with dignity, or it was better for her to just die!

Ashton sneered. “Aren’t you afraid? Fine, just for you.”

He glanced at the nearby bodyguard, and the bodyguard immediately dragged Helen toward the edge

of the rooftop.

Kinsley screamed. “No, please! It was all my doing. I’ll confess to everything I’ve done. Please let my

daughter go!”

Ashton looked impatient. “You talk too much. None of your words are useful.”

Kinsley gritted her teeth. If Ashton was so ruthless, he probably already knew everything that Helen

had done.

Kinsley decided to spill everything, “I was me who put the drug in Deborah’s water when she got into

your bed. I made Helen serve it to her without knowing what was in it.

“After that, I forced Helen to pretend to have liver cancer, so you would treat her. Otherwise, I would

have. sent her overseas and never allowed her to see you again.

“Deborah donated so much liver tissue, and Alyssa’s treatment was disrupted, all because I threatened

the

doctors to do so, and Helen didn’t know. And also…”

She seemed afraid of leaving anything unsaid that might displease Ashton and proceeded to reveal

everything she could think of.

In the end, she was in an attempt to make Ashton hate her and have her take the blame for Helen.

She

confessed to the last thing.

“Eleven years ago, I deliberately took Deboral to the mountains and left her stranded in the deep forest,

causing her to fall off a cliff and almost die. I wanted her dead. She deserved it!”

Ashton suddenly stood up, his face turning terrifyingly sullen, and kicked Kinsley hard.

Kinsley fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, and begged for her daughter’s

life, banging her head on the ground. “Please spare my daughter’s life. She’s young and ignorant.

“She listens to me for everything, she genuinely likes you, and she’s not really bad at heart.”

Ashton’s voice trembled as he spoke, “Did you drug Deborah and send her to my bed all those years

ago? Was Helen’s liver cancer a fake?”

Kinsley’s face stiffened. “You… Don’t you know yet?”

What did Ashton know to make him want to destroy them like this?

Ashton approached Helen. “You acted your fake illness so convincingly. You wanted to die, so I’ll oblige

you
